1996 TNT PRO CRUISER

This is my bike that on the urging brother, brokel345, has been entered in BOTY. Am a bit of a watcher of this site with this being my first major contribution.

This bike is my unchanged race bike from back in the day which was going to take me to the '98 world titles until a major off resulted in the complete set of broken ribs, collarbone and wrist. Still ride it occasionally and have yet to find a cruiser that rides like a 20" or is as balanced as this one. I must be getting old as it is a year off being classed as a survivor! I love this thing & hope you do to.

All parts on this bike are original finish and it has had a quick clean before being entered.

Frame: TNT Pro
Forks: S&M Pitchforks
Wheels: DK hubs laced to Sun Rhyno Lite rims
Tyres: CompIII
Cranks & Chainwheel: Profile
Chain: KMC
Pedals: Odyssey Black Widow
Headset: Chris King
Stem: DK XL
Bars: Robinson Cruiser
Grips: ODI
Seat: DK
Seatpost: Haro Fusion
Seatpost Clamp: DK
Brakes: Shimano DX

Thanks go to Gary Brooks & Peter Bracka back in the day and Brokel345 now.

1988 Revcore 24

I always felt like Revcore was a fine example of mid school BMX racing and craftsmanship. When I started this project, I had every intention of building a show quality bike. A couple of pictures are with the pad set, most are without. The night shots are lit with LED lighting for a cool effect. Photos by my friend Ryan Luke. I hope you enjoy.
